The big upset of the season was the Hodags' stunning defeat at the hands of the Red Raiders of Wisconsin Ra 'd pi s. Absence of the fullback, UVic Cebula, and guard, Pat Bowyer, seemed to cause a feeling of uncertainty among the ul d ' ' 1 ayers, an they just couldn t pull themselves to- gether to even score, so when the gun barked, ending the game, the Hodags were on the short end of a 26-O score. L. Kaja seemed to be the whole Rapids team as he twist d C 1 spun, and smashed his way through the line for a total of 19 points. After a defeat by the mighty men of Wausau the s e d H d ' p e y o ags barely nosed out Stevens Point by a score of 12-6. The game with Antigo ended in a 13-13 tie. Played on a rainsoaked and muddy field this was one of the hard , est fought battles for the Hodags. Perrault, the regular quar- terback, was out of the game most of the time. The Hodags were ably instructed by Mr Leksell, the h coac , and Mr. Oldfield, this year's assistant coach. After the close of the official season the football play- ers, along with Mr. Leksell, Mr. Oldfield, Mr. Weinlick, and Mr. Kruschke were guests at three banquets given in their honor by various clubs of the communit y. On Armistice Day they were guests of The American Le ion at th M ' ' ' ' ' g e emorial Building. The boys enjoyed their good meal of roast beef. The Rotary Club banquet came next. This was held at the Oneida Hotel and the boys ate their fill of turkey and all its trimmin s At th A hl ' g . e t etic Association banquet, Booster Club girls served the boys a big feed in the sewing room which was appropriately d d f ecorate or the occasion. After doing justice to a ham dinner, the following boys received awards for the year: A. Beltz, F. Blomdahl, P. Bowyer, G. Carroll, G. Cebula, J. Champeau, A. Dunham, T. Hansen K Herrick, V. Huybers, E. jaroski, E. Kennedy, E. Kuczmarski, K. Lad- dusire G. Levkn h R L A , ec t, . ewis, R. Maine, Mlady R. Moore, A. O'Melia, D. Perrault, Petra, C. Phillips, H. Schoepke and D. McKenzie, the student manager. This event under the direction of Miss Young was a success, probably because of Miss Young's theory feed them well and don't make them give long speeches, An th h . o er igh- light of the banquet was the showing of movies. This year a mo ' f ' ' vie o the Wisconsin-Purdue football game was shown. The fellows especially liked this for Geor e i g Makris, a product of Rhinelander's gridiron, plays for Wisconsin. The players were all glad for the rest at the end of th e season, but with few exceptions, they would have liked to pla 'ust af f h y 1 CW O I C g3I'1'1CS OVCI'. 7 sgty tg, 'RE DUT TU u 'L-gill' AU M PII, L 1 V --' 'wifi 'V -f . 0' 'H-'Y'1.l?f,,-qfw AA'-AJ I I .
